How may my parents contact you?

Your parents may call the school and leave a message for me.  Also, you 
and/or your parents may email me by clicking the mailbox at the top of the 
homepage or the "Email" link on any of the pages in this site.  My email 
address is ktyner@lisd.org

May I come to tutorials?

Yes, tutorials begin at 7:45 and if you need help with something or have 
been absent you may come to my classroom at that time.  

Also, homework should be done at home.  Please don't come to tutorials to do 
homework - only come when you need help or have been absent.  

You may also see me after school until 4:00 if you have concerns.

What if I am absent?

If you have been absent and requested your work while out, you should bring 
it when you return.  If you did not request work while out, you need to come 
to tutorials your first day back to find out what you need to do. You may 
request your work by emailing me at ktyner@lisd.org.

If you were out due to unexpected illness, please try to come to tutorial 
your first day back.  If you don't make it to tutorial, talk to me before or 
after class.  

Also it is a good idea to have a "buddy" in your class that you can contact 
whenever you have been out or are needing assistance with an assignment.

What do I need to bring to class?

Every day, you will need a pencil, pens (black/blue & red), spiral, and 
textbook (supplied).  You will also need your assignment book, everyday!

Whenever other things are needed, I will remind you to bring them.
Also, look at the list outside the classroom before you enter each day.

Where do I put my backpack?

Students will leave backpacks in the hallway outside of the classroom.  Make 
sure your backpacks are near the wall and do not block the doorway.  

It is also important to remember to get the things you need out of your 
backpack before entering the room to avoid crowding the area just inside the 
classroom door.  

You should be able to enter the room, put your backpack down, then proceed 
straight to your desk.

You will not be permitted to return to your backpack to get things you 
forgot during the class period.  If you forgot something that needed to be 
turned in, you may give it to me after class.

What do I do when I get to class?

After you arrive at your assigned seat, copy your homework assignments into 
your assignment book.  Then follow the directions that are written on the 
board so you will be ready for class after I check the roll.  

Make every minute count!

Do I have to read the sections at home?

YES!  Our class period is only 45 minutes and we don't have time to read and 
do the work that is associated with each section during the class period.  

When you have read the material before class, you will find the work that we 
do much easier to understand and complete.  That will result in better 
grades for you!  

You will have reading assignments almost every night.  Usually they are not 
very long - only 3 or 4 pages.  Remember that we discussed in class that you 
might find it easier to read only a subsection at a time and take breaks 
from the reading.  

Also, remember that the objectives at the beginning of each section tell you 
what to look for & the mastery of the objectives will be checked at the end 
of the section.

What will the test be like?

The chapter tests will not be difficult for you if you have been attentive 
in class, read the assigned material, and completed the assigned work. (This 
means you have learned what you need to know along the way.)  

When you review for the test, look over the objectives for each section in 
the chapter, the defintions, and what we have done in the spiral.  

You may also want to look at previous tests to anticipate what could be on 
this one.

When it is time to study for a semester exam, you will be given a study 
guide that will remind you of the important information in each chapter that 
was covered during that semester.  Please use this guide - it will help you!
